You all know that I love cats, but what you might not know is that I live in the U.S. state of Vermont where we have been hit by devastating floods this week. I and my family are all totally fine but thousands of others were not so lucky. If you can, please consider donating to the Vermont Disaster Animal Response Team (VDART). They are providing cat/dog food, housing, transportation coordination, and other services to help animals in some of our hardest hit areas. https://vermontdart.org/donate/
So... do we still get to watch TV? I don't know what the protocol is here.
